Well, that was fun...

After our long, two week epic vacation, Jon and I are finally back at our apartment in Paris. We got on an overnight train in Venice at about 8:00 p.m. yesterday and arrived at about 9:20 a.m. today, about an hour later than the scheduled arrival time.

It's tough to put it in words, but the past two weeks have been truly amazing. I saw things I could only dream of seeing before, and got the chance to visit the French Riviera and some amazing parts of Italy. After getting through some scheduling conflicts and train issues, our final trip turned out like this:
  • Marseille
  • Aix en Provence
  • Nice
  • Èze
  • Cap d'Ail
  • Genova
  • Cinque Terre
  • Rome
  • Florence
  • Venice
I managed to keep a pretty nifty journal throughout the trip, so I'll include excerpts from it on my next post. For now, I need some coffee, baguette, and about two days to recover. Totally worth it.

    A great itinerary! We took almost the same trip in 1980 with David and Elaine Gill. We've never forgotten it and don't think you will, either.

    Have to figure out how to get accent grave on the keyboard.
